SympI-3 A Philippine Perspective of Japanese Contribution to Science Education in Asian and Western Country

Abstract

The high achievement in science of Japanese children, network of science centers in Japan's prefectures, the Japanese experience in development of low-cost science experiments and demonstrations, the Japanese television programs in science, and the Japanese science education researches point to areas of financial and technical assistance that Japan can provide to other countries. Such support may be in the form of bilateral package cooperation projects or inter-country collaborative programs in curriculum development and standardization, research, teacher training, and use of information technology in science education.
